Just about all companies have performance evaluations. This is not an explicit tactic in most companies.

Just about all companies have performance evaluations. This is not an explicit tactic in most companies.
- 29athrowaway 3y agoIt is. Because of bad math and pseudoscience.
- dartos 3y agoIf it’s a tactic in a company, at some level it is explicit. Someone makes the choice.
- ok_dad 3y agoPerformance evaluations are not evaluating your performance, the evaluations are the performance. “Performance” evaluations. They’re intended to be a method to easily fire people in a litigious world.
- Scoundreller 3y agoYeah, manager’s duty is to always find something that could be improved. Same with interviews: gotta keep things qualitative lest someone sues you for not being the successful candidate.
- candiddevmike 3y agoThis isn't an eval. It's typically "you need X poor performers, Y average performers, and Z top performers. Can't fit your folks into these buckets? Too bad!"
- eli 3y agoCorrect, this isn't an eval it is "stack ranking" which was made famous by GE. Some companies still do it. But not most.
